The business

My client is a fast-growing entity of a London Market insurer. Established three years ago, headcount had increased exponentially, in line with a significant rise in the breadth and volume of business being written by the organisation. A nimble and highly active firm, they write business across multiple Insurance product lines.

As a result of this growth, their Wordings function has grown to support the Underwriters, and this vacancy is a continuation of the increased requirement for strong Wordings professionals in the organisation.

The role

In this role, your remit will be varied. You will be a valued partner to internal stakeholders such as Underwriting, but will equally be expected to negotiate and liaise with external stakeholders such as; brokers, MGAs and reinsurers.

Key areas of focus for the role will be:

  • Drafting and negotiating policy wordings and clauses for MGA/coverholder managed products, binding authority agreements and outward reinsurance documentation
  • Reviewing TOBAs between MGAs and brokers
  • Supporting Claims with relevant coverage analysis, and subsequently adjusting policy wordings
  • Maintaining regulatory standards across all work carried out

The candidate

You will be an experienced wordings professional with significant, prior London Market wordings practice, having ideally drafted policy wordings across a broad range of product classes. Reinsurance wordings and Delegated Underwriting agreements experience is a strong preference, as is exposure to dealing with MGAs.

My client are currently operating in line with Covid compliant working practices, with home working entirely facilitated and encouraged.
